The problem with cloud is that customers are surrendering all their data (aka business) to providers. Ransomware might be considered child's play compared to cloud business, in a few years. :-p

Seriously: the open source movement was about freeing your systems. With the cloud, you don't even have systems. How dumb is this?

I understand the need for more flexible systems, though.

The open source movement will always live on. But I don't get why cloud services are being so heavily pushed.

"cloud services are being so heavily pushed"

recurring payments are better than one time payments :)
